Well It's now taking 15-20mins for my quad core to start.

Before the lightning my pc was working perfectly. Now it takes 15-20mins to start. Once the pc starts up it works perfectly fine.

What do you guys think is causing this?

Startup programs won't be an issue since it never was before this happend. Okay, I'll check for dust but I don't know how it would get so much dust that it causes problems in 3 days...

Thanks for the help.

Well anyway. I ran a registry fix and my pc is working perfectly now. Thanks guys.
